Confederate Memorial Fountain, Memorial fountain in Helena, Montana, US
The fountain is a granite structure with twin columns and inscriptions that once stood in Hill Park. The memorial followed early 20th-century design patterns typical of public monuments from that era.
The structure was completed in 1916 from a design by architect George H. Carsley, commissioned by the Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It stood in the city for over a century before removal in 2017.
This memorial sparked community discussions about historical representation, leading to its removal in 2017 and subsequent replacement with the Equity Fountain in 2020.
The fountain is no longer on public display, having been moved to storage after its removal from Hill Park. Visitors interested in the monument's history can find information at local history centers in Helena.
This monument stood as the northernmost of its kind in the entire United States, highlighting its unusual presence in Montana. After removal, it was replaced by the Equity Fountain in 2020, a new memorial with different meaning.
